Liam Payne reportedly sent ex-fiancée Maya Henry and her family X-rated pH๏τos of himself after their breakup, court filings reveal.
Payne was allegedly “performing disturbing Sєxual acts on himself” in images, according to documents obtained by The Post on Tuesday, November 12. Henry claimed in her filing that the singer also attempted to send “intimate images” of her to other people. The Post noted that the allegations were included within a cease and desist issued by Henry days before Payne’s death. (She has yet to address his pᴀssing.)
The former One Direction member died on October 16 at age 31 after falling off a H๏τel balcony at the CasaSur Palermo H๏τel in Buenos Aires. An investigation has since been opened regarding his death.
Daily Mail previously reported that Payne had been served with a cease and desist from Henry on October 14 “following the emergence of new and concerning information.” She accused the singer of repeatedly contacting her and her family members. (Us Weekly reached out to Henry for comment at the time.)

Henry added: “Also, [he] will email me … not only me, but he’ll blow up my mom’s phone. Is that normal behavior to you?”
Earlier this year, Henry released her debut novel Looking Forward — which is speculated to be inspired by her relationship with Payne. (The main characters, and their backgrounds, appear to have some parallels to Henry and Payne, respectively.)
“Obviously the book is fiction, [but it’s] definitely inspired by true events,” she told People in May. “[The main character] Mallory is very similar to me, and that’s why it was very easy for me to write her character and put the emotion in there. I’m just grateful that I have this opportunity and platform to really help be a voice for women.”
